Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"Jon Ward's life is divided in half: two decades
inside
the
evangelical
Christian bubble and two decades outside of it. In '
Testimony
,' Ward tells the engaging story of his upbringing in, and eventual break from, an influential
evangelical
church in the 1980s and 1990s. Ward sheds light on the
evangelical
movement
's troubling political and cultural dimensions, tracing the ways in which the Jesus People
movement
was seduced by materialism and other factors to become politically captive rather than prophetic. A respected journalist, Ward asks uncomfortable but necessary questions, calling those
inside
and outside conservative Christian circles to embrace truth, complexity, and nuance. He recounts his growing alarm and grief over the last several years as
evangelical
conservatives attacked truth, rejected personal character, and embraced authoritarianism and conspiracism. He shares his search for a faith that embodies the values he was taught as a child. Ward's experience and reflections will resonate with many readers who grew up in the
evangelical
movement
as well as all those who have an interest in the health of the Church and its impact on American life."--From publisher.
"A journalist recounts his upbringing and eventual break from an influential
evangelical
church to diagnose broader political and cultural issues."--From publisher.
